Gritty and Fast-Paced Realism in Debut Action/Thriller
I love action/thriller novels. Vince Flynn and Michael Connelly are a few of the authors whose books I won't miss. But, while I love Flynn & Connelly, the problem is, they're not exactly suited for the church library shelves. While there are action/thrillers in Christian fiction, it's rare to find comparable works, books that will intrigue across the religious line. Steven James is probably the best at appealing cross-genre and Tim Downs takes a close second.
Albeit, the novel wasn't perfect. Some of the dialogue was stodgy, and at times the description stalled the action, but all-in-all I was very pleased with the book and Bob Hamer has definitely been added to my list of must reads.
I can't wait to read this one. Aye, aye, aye, but there are so many ahead of it!
ReplyDeleteLove Vince Flynn. Read every one of his and can't wait for American Assassin. I wish he'd let me write Mitch a love interest. I nearly hated Anna--horrible person that I am. I thought the final scene in Consent to Kill showed his ability as a writer, even though I don't think he writes to his potential most of the time. Love his work anyway. But, no, not for the church library . . . Sigh.
Hi Nicole - thanks for stopping by. :) I'm so glad I discovered your blog today. It looks like we enjoy many of the same type of books.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for American Assassin either, and to learn how Rapp got involved with the CIA. I agree with you regarding Anna. I never felt she was right for Mitch. But, I'll just bet there'll be a romantic interest for Mitch in the near future.
Blessings!
Likewise with your review site. Great job. And, yes, we do enjoy similar novels. Hurray!
